Hello guys,
I'm looking for an app that would automatically unlock my lockscreen. I tried the "myLock Auto Unlock" but it lags when I try to automatically unlock the lockscreen.

There's an app called NoLock, which disables the lockscreen completely.

Featured TODAY from Lifehacker, what a coincidence :
http://lifehacker.com/5713691/no-lock-turns-off-androids-slide+to+unlock-gesture
If you're entirely confident in your pockets, your purse, or your butt being unable to accidentally dial people or launch loud apps accidentally, go ahead and grab No Lock. The Android app simply disable's Android's slider-based lock screen.
And that's the only thing it does, really, replacing the usual slide gesture with a simple button to tap. As Download Squad points out, the very nifty Tasker app can disable the lock screen, and even do so under just certain times or conditions (among many other things), but this app requires much less work.
No Lock Turns Off Android's Slide-to-Unlock GestureIt's a free download for Android phones, available in the Market, and you can scan the QR code at left to grab it.

I had an issue with the same thing and this seemed to fix it:
The most accurate recognition will be achieved when all the training images are taken directly from front (i.e. no profile images etc.). Also, you should take training images in different illuminations (in those environments where you usually use your mobile). Sufficient amount of images per person is about 5 to 10.
give it a shot and see if it changes!

It doesn't seem to work on a rooted Evo. Every App I lock goes to the face program then the app starts anyway.
been using this all day here and i must say im impressed. now i just need this to work with the "stock" lock screen (take the place of a pin pass or pattern). that would be amazing.

Im rooted running synergy rc1 and it works fine. Try wiping the app data and uninstall and then do a fresh install and see if that helps.

I was thinking the same thing! That would be a kick ass feature.
I am running the latest MIUI and this works fine. Awesome application. My only complaint is that on MIUI you can drag applications to the top of the screen for an uninstall. If you do that with the app, it will remove it and then you can access whatever you want on the phone. Obviously nobody is going to really know that they can do that unless they are familiar with MIUI, but still something to nag about.
Awesome application.

Same here so what I did was place it in a folder and selected the HIDE APPLICATION option that way it cannot be found
That's what I ended up doing as well. Worked really well since you can't delete the folder with something in it, but you can't find what's in it.
Also, I found that if you hit the home key while the app is loading, it cancels the protection out.
Say you have it protecting messages. You click on messages and while the screen is blank for a second or two (The camera security is loading), hit the home key. Now open messages again and it doesn't lock you out.
Just me or others too?

Yes u just drag the app or unlock it and then it prompts u for password or face unlock

Also, FWIW, I'm password/passcode mandated bc my company forces admin rights for me to get corporate email, so I have to, of course, enter my passcode each time i unlock directly into an app. HOWEVER, this is not the case with the Camera, at least for picture taking. I can 'partially' unlock to get to the camera app and take multiple photos without entering a passcode, but as soon as you try to review or edit photos, you are prompted for the password.
Personally, I was concerned that I would lose quick access to the camera with password unlock, but luckily that's not the case. Thought I'd pass that along...
If you are interested, there is an app called ExtendLockTime, which allows you to set a delay for the pass code. For example, if you only wanted to enter the code once per day, within the app you set it to 24 hours. Its working perfectly on my HOX.
Any way to get the Screen Lock/Unlock sounds back too? lol

Found it!
Give Widget Locker a whirl. Highly customizable and can look like stock ICS. Easily capable of more actions than the stock lockscreen.

I'm not sure why HTC decided to mess with the default delays...The ICS ones were just fine. I usually had mine set to 3 seconds in case the display turned off while I was reading something and I could just tap the button to turn it back on without unlocking.
Sweep Texting allows users to receive, view, and send text messages, all without touching their phones. It uses the proximity sensor to implement intuitive gestures: you can sweep down your screen as though you're giving permission for the app to "come" to you and display itself. An alert dialog will then pop up with the text message and you can reply to it within the dialog itself (you don't have to switch out of the app you're currently using). Then, when you want to send the message, you simply sweep up as though you're commanding the text message to "go away" and send itself.
Since the app is completely touch-free (with the exception of typing in your actual message), it is extremely useful in hands-free situations where looking at the screen and switching through multiple screens to access messages may be a hazard (driving, for instance). The app also gives users a nice futuristic feel to their text messaging experience and allows them to customize it with multiple color schemes.
FULL LIST OF FEATURES:
--Sweep down to view a text message after it arrives.
--Sweep up to send your reply back to whoever you're texting.
--Tap on your message to go directly to your Inbox.
--Supports multiple messages from different senders.
--Supports messages longer than one text message.
--Hide a message and then sweep down to view it again at a later time.
--Choose between Holo styled (ICS only) or five different dialog colors.
--Choose between five different text balloon colors.
--Toggle to disable in Landscape mode.
--Toggle to enable/disable "Message Sent" sound.
--Enable/Disable toggle so you can turn off the app's features when you don't need it.

Unfortunately, the app is only available in the United States for now (due to export tax law issues). I'll be rolling the app out to other countries soon, though!
Really like this app though sadly it doesn't work with 3rd party messaging apps specifically sliding messaging (what I'm using) only seems to work with stock :-\
also can't reopen text a after dismissing..

Yeah, I could only find Intents that work with the stock messaging app when a text comes in. I'm actually working on porting it over with Google Voice and other 3rd party messaging apps are on my to-do list. I'll let you know when the updates become available.
And "Dismiss" is supposed to mark a message as read (so you won't be able to access it). If you want to be able to access a message after you view it, you should use the "Hide" button (that's what it's for). Glad you like the app though!

Are you using one of the custom color schemes? I don't think they have support for the "Hide" button (I couldn't get the dialog to accept more than one button for some weird reason... prolly an SDK bug). Try using the Holo theme. You can see from my screenshots that there actually is a "Hide" button for the Holo theme. Hope this helps!
Also, if you like the app, please consider sharing it with your friends/leaving a rating and review on Google Play. That'll help support future development of this app. Thanks!
I'm using the color schemes included in the app
EDIT just switched to holo theme can see hide and others now thanks
also showed my dad he loves it have been showing it off to people as I do with any neat thing I can get for my phone
also doesn't work it at lockscreen our even after trying to use it at lockscreen till next text

I don't think activities can be shown on the lockscreen. The text message dialogs are individual activities so I don't think I can place them on the lockscreen. If I do find a way though, I'll implement that into the app. Thanks for the tip!

k cool, i would also like to pint out that if you are using a alt messaging app that has an option to wake upon receiveing a text enabled the app works fine, though if it wakes to the lockscreen and is in your pocket at the time you receive a text then this app wont respond to any sweeping after unlocking until you receive another text (unless of course the same scenario happens at which case you'd have to open the text normally) now if there is a way for it to ignore all sweeping over the sensor while at lockscreen then this would be fixed but as im not an app dev idk what you can and cant do, maybe something to look into maybe a waste of time idk, just the only thing that i can think of that would provide a nice work around

That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking into implementing that right now.
Also, the price of the app has been reduced by 25% ($1.50). It has also been released in most European Union countries, so if you weren't able to download it before because of country limitations, you can get it now (as long as you're in the EU)!

Also just found that under certain situations sweep texting may keep the proximity sensor on even if there are no more texts but a user workaround is to freeze the app with titanium backup or rom toolbox(what I use) or the like and then to unfreeze it will see if I can figure out what causes it or get log for you

a few questions for you:
does, using the share function within the app, the text you write appear on your PC?
- if not -
did you allow the extension to run in the background?
do you see your device name when clicking the extension button on your browser?

That's why then. Lightflow uses a destructive way to handle notifications so when it is done data is no longer available for mirrordrin to use. You must disable it if you want to use mirrordrin
